Typical Newsboys-

A fat disciple of prohibition, with a
benevolent countenancc, a double chin,
and white high hat halted on Satur-

front of group of typical New York
newsboys who were resting their
bodies on the stone steps in front of a
store in Park row and Gelighting their
souls with few choice brands of
cigarette stubs which might have come
from Delmonicos (once upon a time).
Looking severely over his gOd-rimmed
glasses, he addresses a ragged urchin
in the group:
boy, | am sorry to see you forming
this pernicious habit at so early an
age. The infant thus addressed shifted
his weed to the other side of his mouth,

and asked:

General Grant on the Terms at
Vicksburg.

In the Century is printed for the first
time letter by General Grant on the
above topic, from which the following
is an extract: General Pemberton, be-
ing Northern man commanding a
Southern army, was not at the same
liberty to surrender an army that a
man of Southern birth would be. In
adversely or defeat he became an OBJ
ject of suspicion, and felt it. Bowen
was a Southern man all over, and
knew the garrison at Vicksburg had to
surrender or be captured, and knew it
was best to stop further effusion of
blood by surrendering. He did all he
could to bring about that result.
Pemberton is mistaken in several
points 1t was Bowen that proposed
that he and A. J. Smith should talk
over the matter of the surrender and
submit their views. Neither Pember-
ton nor | objected; but we were not
willing to commit ourselves to accept
ing such terms as they might propose.
In short time those officers returned.
Bowen acted as spokesman. What he
said was substantially this: The Con-
federate Army was to be permitted to
march out with the honors of war,
carrying with them their arms, colors,
and field batteries. The National
troops were then to march in and
occupy the city, and retain the siege
guns. small arms not in the hands of
the men. all public property remain
ing. OF course, rejected the terms at
once. | did agree, however, before
we separated, to write Pemberton
what terms / would give. The CORES
pondence is public and speaks for
itself l held no council of war.
Hostilities having ceased, officers and
men soon became acquainted with the
reason why. Curiosity led officers of
to visit my headquarters with the hope
of getting some news. | talked with
them very freely about the meeting
between General Pemberton and my
self, our correspondence, etc. But in
no sense was it council of war. /
was very glad TO give the garrison of
Vicksburg the terms did. There was
a cartel in existence at that time which
required either party to exchange or
parole all prisoners either at Vicks-
burg or at point on the James River
within ten days after captures or as
soon thereafter as practicable. This
would have used all the transportation
we had for month. The men had be-
haired so ceH that did not rant to
hunsiliate them believed that consid-
Grafton for their feelings tcossld make
them less dangerous foes during the

Irrigation and potatoes seem to go well

Look at This.

A wise life insurance, payable at the
death OF the insurer, does not benefit his
wife and children only after his death,
but is of great use to the man himself
1t tends to make him economical
methodical, and frugal in his expendi
lures, cuts off many petty indulge noes
which would waste his means. and gives
quiet to his mind in business troubles
and especially in sickness and in prospect
of death. He does not look in anguish
at the prospect of his family at his death
loaded with the expenses of his sickness
funeral expenses, etc., and thrown upon
the world without means of livlihood
at a time when grief will go far to par
alyze their energies. Life insurance is
not only not wrong, but is duty. Nc
one has any right to leave those who are
dependent upon his love and care to the
chances of industrial paralysis and
poverty.-Henry Ward Beecher.

CIydesdale Horses.

The draft horse interest is extending
rapidly throughout the country, notably
all over the west Larger importations of
draft horses are reported this season than
ever before. AS these importations in
elude many Clydesdale horses, o few
words about this breed will doubtless
prove Of interest There is no question
that vast improvement has been
Effected Of late years in the breeding of
Clydesdales, though the original stock
contained the elements of what is really
good and substantial The increased de-
mand, not only from Canada and the
United States, but also from South Amer
ica, Australia and several Of the conti-
mental countries of Europe, has proven a
wonderful incentive to breeders. For
merly the valley of Clyde was the chief
breeding district, but nowadays C1ydes-
dales are bred with about equal success in
nearly every county in Scotland.
While it cannot be claimed that the
Clydesdale is a model horse for every pur-
pose, it may be said he is trustworthy,
level headed, docile animal, of great value
as draft and work horse. The average
modern Clydesdale stands from 10 TO
10 l-2 hands high, and weighs, when In

tones, far more than made good the
loss" 7"
The idea that the deaf, as a class,
"are sullen, morose, suspicious" is a
slander.
Having been intimately associated
with the deaf for thirteen years, and
having visited most of the important in
stitutions of this character in this coun-
try, l unhesitatingly assert that the
pupils of well-regulated institution
for the deaf are the happiest people on
the face of the earth, the illustrious
blind preacher to the contrary, notwith-
standing. Nine-tenths of the men who
have spent their lives in the manage
ment and instruction of these people
will bear me out in this broad asser-
tion.
An isolated deaf person (from whom
most people form their ideas of this
class) may appear "sullen, morose, sus-
picious," but place this isolated deaf
person among his own class, and he may
prove the happiest of the happy.
Place the average American among
foreigners with whom he cannot com.
muDicate, and they will pronounce him
sullen, mOrose, suspicious, but place him
among his own people, and he becomes
smiling and happy.

CELERY.

sides sloped. As the plants grow higher
the earth may be dug from the center of
the row with a spade and banked up
against the celery.
Last season attention was called to the
blanching of celery with tile. 1t is prob
able that some Of our foremost cultivators
will try this plan this season and report
success or failure from the same in due
time
IL should be borne in mind that celery
must not he worked or touched while wet
with rain or dew; this rule applies not
only to its cultivation in the seed bed, but
70 the earthing process and when storing
for winter. Some growers tie the stalks
with string in place of holding with the
hand while earthing.
Celery that is to be stored for cold win
ter and early spring use need not be
banked, as it blanches after it is in the
trench. The trenches are dug in dry soil,
well underdrained, or where water will
not stand; these are made the width of the
spade and rs deep as the celery is high.
The celery is packed in these trenches in
an upright position with what earth ad-
heres to the roots, closely, but not crowd
ing. No covering is put on until the
weather becomes cold. Finally the trench
is covered with straw, leaves or other
litter, and the earth rounded up along
over the trench. A covering of boards
over the litter is recommended

Enormous Consumption of Beer.

all to ten kegs. although some do not

But, calculating on the smaller fig

should have about $4,000, 900 glasses

Text Books for the Public Schools

CARLISLE, MISS, Sept. %, 1887.
EDITOR CLARION: 1 would suggest an
idea L have entertained for some time,
as an amendment to Prof. Johnson's 5
theory respecting school books for the
5 ate of Mississi ppi, to wit: A Commits
-Ipn app tinted by Mississippi Legis-
lttIre with authority to get up an entire
-eries of school books for Mississippi,
by Mississippi Commission, for publ.
c atom by Mississippi press, to be paid
- by the >ta of Mississippi, and fur
nished to patrons of schools by requisi-
tlou 10y the teacher, first, County Super
intendent next, aud State Superinten-
dent last, upon the authorized State
publisher, at actual cost. We have the
brains in Mississippi to do it; economy
demands it, and the extortionate prices
paid to present authors of school books
since the war, necessitates some such
measure as an independent and protec
tive measure; and further, a battle
against the installation into our posteri
ty that we, their ancestors, are traitors.
We are paying over three hundred per
cent more for books now than in ante
bellum days, without cause, and are
quietly allowing Northern authors,
through their histories. to tell our chill
dren We are traitors, and by allowing
them used, endorsing it.
| would say, further, in connection,
the present school law is a systematic
farce, and should be revised. Without
pursuing this subject further, l ask what
idea Superintendent has of teachers
capacity for teaching-after lot of
irrelevant questions have been answered I?
Aud for instance, some words to be
spelled-so imperfectly presented, as to
cause material study to ascertain the
word to be spelled. The farce would
suggest to me, if l were teacher, the
assembling of Teachers Convention,
resolutions demanding a revision and
refusal to submit to more such examina-
tions. The matter of capacity should
be left to County Superintendents who

strxchnine for Gophers.

Judging from the crop reports there is a
very general prevalence of gophers
throughout the newer portions of the
northwest. Professor Budd destroys
gophers on the Iowa college farm with
strychnine crystals Potatoes are cut in
halves and their cut surfaces rubbed
with the crystals. These poisoned
pieces are stuck firmly on to
the sharp ends of stiff twigs, about
eighteen inches in length. AS the burrows
of the gopher are opened piece of potato
is run in the length of the stick, the outer
end being fastened by sticking it into the
earth at the mouth of the hole. By this
means Professor Budd reports that the
land was cleared of the pests in about one
week. When the poison was scattered
loosely in their runs it proved less effec-
tive, as they throw it out untasted in most
cases.
